The problem we have right now is too many students doing poorly in grade school and too many people picking dumb majors when they go to university. In what way does this solve either problem?
I'd much rather if we simply:
1 - Raised how much we paid teachers. (This way, the best potential teachers, the people being paid top dollar to go work for private companies, will actually view being a grade school teacher as a worthwhile career. Right now, if you end up with a really good teacher, it's because they're either already content with how much money they made elsewhere and retired, or because they feel so strongly that we need better teachers that they're willing to take the massive pay cut.)
2 - Made it easier to fire teachers that are lousy.
3 - Offered more scholarships for people going into STEM majors. A lot more. School is many times more expensive than the scholarships we're offering right now.
Lol help people? People/companies only do so much for TAX BREAKS, nothing else. The "good" publicity is just a bonus for their reputation...

At my high school people figured out the Wi-Fi passwords, used some proxies to access YouTube, FaceBook, etc...
Kids are creative these days.
You're such a lost cause you might as well just check out and get off the planet if you believe that.
Reality isn't bashing.

Any opportunity to bash Microsoft, right?
Honestly no. I love many MS products and use them. Hell, I was going to buy my mom a MacBook Air, but opted for a touch screen Windows 8 ultra book since it would be easier for her to use and she loves it. She even makes fun of my MBA now.
Seriously tho, all giving like this is great, no matter the scale. It just seemed slightly disingenuous to me when seeing the numbers the other guys were giving. That's all.

Edit: Good lord, why are you people supporting this? It wastes money and seems probable that it'll reduce the quality of education we give in public schools, not improve it.

Ha, that's is funny because that's honestly how it feels on these forums isn't it?

I know when I was in high school and college, my teachers sucked at utilizing technology for teaching. Does anyone have insight into how teachers are doing these days with technology? Is it helping them teach in more advanced and impacting ways or not?
Getting tired of reading this paranoia crap about NSA lately....

No. All it does is provide students with more distractions.
That's not to say they're entirely worthless. Students use laptops for research, writing papers, and making slide shows. But they're guaranteed to also use it for gaming, social networking, etc, while in class. And no matter how hard you try to block them, it just takes one of them knowing how to bypass your settings and selling the secret to the rest of them.
Lol... why the name calling? Did I offend you? Do you need a hug? Can I make a donation in your name to make you feel better?
You're such a lost cog in modern society and believe Apple does this for the people? Lol please. Businesses are about $$$$, not giving away stuff. Since Apple loves giving away stuff, maybe they will give you a free iPhone?
DOUBT IT!
When you bring in an unrelated fact to make somebody look bad, it is bashing. You can use facts to bash people.
Oh, okay.
I guess I'm just too used to everyone on here thinking that liking Apple means hating everyone else. Also, sometimes money is less important than something that can be used. If I give a company that needs computers 500m dollars (cause I'm rich), I don't know how much of it is going to be used for the computers. If I give them 500m dollars worth of computers (because I'm rich), I know that the computers are going to be used.
However, I also think teachers should be concerned with teaching, and should not be fearful of losing their jobs every year. I am against busting teacher unions. There must be a way to raise pay, make it easier to replace under-performing teachers with "average" teachers.
There is a lot of hate.
And you're correct. When giving money, you don't have as much control over how it is used. On the other hand, sometimes we have to trust people to do what's best for their goals and initiatives (so long as they follow the spirit of the donations). It's just tough giving money AND tech, it's generally out of your control once it leaves your hands. It's kind of like when a buddy borrows $1000 to pay rent from you and then you see him at the bar the next day. How mad can you be that he's enjoying a few beers. (that was a horrible analogy)
Good teachers won't have to be fearful. My wife has been teaching 22 years and will tell you that the only way to get rid of bad teachers is to bust the unions. There is a saying in the education field when a bad teacher is relocated instead of fired. It's called passing the trash and unfortunately it happens every year.
That is.
I love Apple, but some fans make me cringe.

Getting really annoyed at the word "sheeple" too.
